Daniel Fields update

Fields’ promotion was one of a couple of transactions made by the Tigers Saturday in response to an injury to Mud Hens outfielder Clete Thomas. TigsTown.com is reporting that Thomas has landed on the disabled list with a hamstring injury.

Center fielder Ben Guez has been promoted from Lakeland to Toledo to replace Thomas and Fields has been promoted from extended spring training to Lakeland to replace Guez.

Fields’ promotion should only be temporary as he will probably return to extended spring training after Thomas recovers. Connecticut Tigers fans can still expect to see Fields playing in Dodd Stadium once June rolls around.
